It seems you think we are talking about just any politician. Here is the prime minister comment on the superleague Link https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-european-super-league-b1833689.html%3famp. Their is no lobbying here on something that will destroy England top league.

He's the prime minister , so what?
He's no different from the other MPs. Politics is more complex that just the Prime minister or President having a final say on things, except they are not practicing democracy.
These guys are not dumb o. They have access to the best of lawyers in the world. They obviously didn't break any law, that is why even FIFA and UEFA haven't brought out anything to counter them, they are still consulting after over 24 hrs of announcement and they are yet to bring out any UEFA rule they broke. The only best thing UEFA president could do was rant in front of camera and issue threats without any legal standing.

The fact that these big guys are so confident about it shows that they probably found a loop hole to exploit. The next best thing UEFA can do is to eat the humble pie and renegotiate with these big boys.

Europe is not a banana republic, Any illegal declaration by any government or UEFA will be met with strong lawsuits by these big clubs and both clubs and UEFA probably knows that there will be no winner.

UEFA lost all the cards when they failed to implement FFP rules to the letter to curtail the big boys , now they can't deal with the monsters they made. Let them enjoy what they created

Bombblacks:
They didn't plan on the British government getting involved that's for sure. Both scenarios are not the same one bit. Britain has nothing to gain From the creation of a superleague rather it harms their domestic league. Their is no lobbying the Prime minister on this occasion when the entire nation is against it.

I doubt it.

Big cooperations all over the world budget for politicians lobbying money as part of their running cost. These guys are not dumb , they are smart, and they have smart and intelligent people I'm their employ who does crisis management for them and have anticipated the government getting involved

Infact , politicians are the least of their problems because most of these politicians are owned by these big cooperations

Bombblacks:
As long as the british government has getting involved then its a different ball game. They are various laws they can enact that will strangle all the big teams in England. Infact they can deny working permit to all their players and even deny them from buying foreign players.

The British government also got involved in 1992 during the creation of EPL from the national league, at the end of the day, the big clubs had their way and the government ended up forcing the hand of the FA to let them be.

It's about lobbying bro. Infact, politicians are the easiest for big firms to lobby when the big firms want to have their way.
Also, do you guys think these clubs haven't budgeted for this? or you think they just woke up yesterday and started bringing up Super league idea without looking at the possibilities, both legal and political?
Something that Perez and his American friends have been planning for over 10 years

"The people in charge of these clubs are not stupid"

#MUFC legend Wayne Rooney says clubs and fans shouldn't 'jump the gun' and should wait to see what happens with the new European Super League



Emotional fans won't hear, as if UEFA themselves are saints

Rooney has always been an intelligent guy.

handelex:
Lyon President Aulas on The Super League: "We should build bridges, not walls."


Oga wants to join

The bridge he meant is bridge of invitation to the super league

The werey hear money , he start to speak in poetry

Beorn:
I'm not a fan of Ole, but I've no beef towards him for loaning out Lingod. Let's be honest, when Bruno arrived and lit up the league, most of us wanted Pereirra and Lingardinho thrown away.


Ole has committed many crimes, but benching Lingardinho is not one of them.

Are you minding them.

Him and Pereira will just be doing endless sideways passes against teams that are defending without even taking any risk as an AM

It's no accident that his best days was under Jose when we just sit back against any and every team hoping to counter .

CapitalCee:
Its might look funny, but i think i prefer this version of Greenwood to that of last season. He is now more rounded in his game, i think Oke took off some scoring responsibilities from him in order to develop other aspect of his game and its paying off. Greenwood has improved considerably

yea , I noticed it too. Ole even mentioned it in the past before. He's now unpredictable with the ball and movement. The goals will come eventually.

Eizzy003:
The this 1 just weak me, that's the see the whole Portugal, come talk say na only penalty takers dm get

Na just weak trolling just to get to United fans.

Out of a the teams there, it's only France that have Portugal's clout. The rest no too sabi. Imagine if Germany has Jota, , Felix or Neto, I'm sure they will throw those Chelsea waste pipes into the bush

chukwunedum150:
What do you people have to say about the pitch, I mean the turf

Bad

Very bumpy

We are in 2021 and a while country like Nigeria can't give it's national team a good pitch. Which should be an easy thing to do.

It seems those idiots at the NFF underated the effects of a good pitch in a team's football. There are some movements in the final third that the boys was trying to do today but bumpy pitches is just redirecting the ball anyhow

isan:
CAF should be conducting this test or at least their officials should be present when the test is being conducted

There's nothing that CAF can do about it. COVID is public health issue, and each country health officials take care of that. Most countries will want to trust their own Covid test results. But it seems some African countries want to weaponize it to gain advantage now by declaring fake COVID result.

The fact that Benin rejected the Covid test results should tell you that they intentionally gave Iwobi a fake result and are also suspecting that Seria leone is doing the same to them too

Olulong:
The reason he had those chances in the first place was because of his press and him getting into good positions

Osimhen case is just like Rashford. Rashford is also wasteful at times, but it looks that way because these two make a lot of runs in the final third, they are not a "pass the ball to my feet" kind of players. They run into space a lot and they never stop making runs the whole game, that is why it usually look like they are the ones getting all the chances.

DrLikita12:
The schedule seems really tight.
Qualifiers: potentially 6 games in 2 weeks in May/June (2nd round), and then another 2 games in November (3rd round)
AFCON in January 2022
World Cup in June/July 2022.

World cup is November 2022

Explorers:
Get it now, but do you know that most of these vessels now have tens of armed guards on board? Like mercenaries, snipers heavily armed with sophisticated weapons.

Ive seen their videos.

Of course they have armed guards. That is why pirates are also heavily armed and prepared too. Look at the way those Niger delta boys arm themselves with gunboats and heavy machine guns will give you a clue

Explorers:
Lol...... Pirates won't dare when it comes to Military gunships or destroyers.

As it is now, any unidentified vessel/boat that's not oil tanker, container ship, that's not of Military or government without clearance spotted 5km - 10km from the queued vessels will be questioned/detained or receive firepower.

I'm talking about vessels that will want to take the south African route due to the blocked canal


Obviously the ones parked together at the entry point of the canal are well protected.

Also, it seems you think I was talking about the ship that was blocking the canal. No I wasn't.

I was talking about the ships that will have to take another route to get to Asia, which is by going around Africa, and they will be vulnerable to the somali pirates along the route. Piracy is not an easy thing to stop like you think because pirates don't attack ships on river ways or Canals, they do it on open sea where their chances of escape is higher.

LMS1:
Trust Me That Is Not Niger Delta Bro

You think it's easy to police an entire sea?

Explorers:
They called US Navy already.

It doesn't stop anything. How many of them will Navy ship monitor at the same time. Las las, Pirate go still collect their own share along the way.

smartsmith0907:
Omo nah Paul calm my tension today ohhh
I already knew it was gonna be a tough match
We were just lucky today.

On the contrary, we were unlucky, also coupled with the heroics of the benin goal keeper. It was benin that almost got lucky to take away a draw, unfortunately for benin, the better team won at the end

humility33:
It depends on a good day while playing an attackin minded formation aina is better but defensively Ebuehi is better

Just that Aina didn't come to the party tonight

It just looks like Aina didn't come to the party because he probably played to instructions. He didn't bomb foward a lot because Sanusi is doing so on the other side. From the match today, it seems Rohr gave Sanusi more license to go foward and understandably so, as he's the better attacker out of the two full backs.

Sanusi showing us why he walked into the Porto team.

If you are good, no team or coach will send you on endless loans

12large1:
This Rohr guy must have some Goodluck touch in qualifying us for Tournaments. It hasn't been this easy since the 90's dude qualified us again with 2 games to spare

Make Rohr cut soap for our local coaches na

KingAlabi:
Hearing Chelsea or Man City in for lukaku

Is he coming back to hunt us !

I still believe Solskjaer decision to sell Lukaku was rushed sha.

Clementoke:
By so doing, you will be sacrificing Chukwueze

4-4-2 is the best option to me sha. That wayzl, Chukwueze and iwobi can play in midfield as RM and LM. Both iwobi and Chukwueze especially have played that position in their clubs multiple times so it won't be new.

Olulong:
This people have started with their useless antics. Why do we do this in this part of the world??

It is CAF that is useless and don't do their job in sanctioning countries that do such nonsense treatment to away teams. That shit is even worse in CAF club competitions.

Imagine doing such nonsense in Europe, UEFA would have sanctioned such country and these hostile behavior to away teams would have reduced to the barest minimum

seniorkachion:
And so what!!
Is it only Egyptian ships that pass through the Suez Canal. Igbo is part of the South South.

Ships that pass through the suez canal pay tolls bro. The canal is literarily one of Egypt's source of revenue. The canal pass through egypt only, they built it and it belongs exclusively to them. So don't make it look like they suez canal is international waters. It's not, it belongs to Egypt. Before the canal was built, European ships go round Africa via the cape to get to Asia, which usually takes 2 weeks, but they can get to Asia via the canal in just 1-2 days

BlueMann:
3-0 to Barca
Dominant, but City had good chances, including a penalty and another Sutter, plus a host of decent openings. They will surely regret not taking them.

Up next is Chelsea vs Wolfsburg.

Keep trying to paint a woeful City team with good brush. If I didn't watch the game I would probably think City was unlucky , meanwhile Barca wasted a lot of goal scoring opportunities in the opening 30 minutes of the game. Let's say you are right, a d every one took their chances, Barca would have won by at least 6-2 anyway.

KingAlabi:
For those saying start VDB, like say na gen

Abeg he can follow ole and gedifok

Ole no be coach abeg. I used to be an Olein Person, but my eyes have opened to some realities about the guy.

We will continue to shit on VDB because he's not a player that can do things individually like Bruno and the rest. The guy is a system player and such players get confused where there is none.

No be here we dey when Chelsea fans were saying most of there players were shit during lampards reign. it got do bad for them that they began to doubt the abilities of Kante who has been one of there best players since he got to the club. The moment lsmpsrd was sacked, it became clear that he was just a clueless coach and those guys are not bad, after all they have won trophies in the past with some of these so called deadwoods.

Leyqute:
Ain’t that the truth?

We have to look at the players we’ve loaned out- which of them can be a starter or can be a good bench option? Then we need to think about the positions that we need to strengthen, identify targets and then go after them.

It’s not until the season ends before we start making moves.

Thank God we now have Technical director that will make that assessment with the coach as well. May be this time, things will be different I hope

eph12:
I remember when Regulion came in and Woodward received plenty insults for missing on Regulion. Lmao. My guy would have been sat on the bench with gorilla glue

Yea, I remember. But I won't blame Woodward for that deal sha. It was a bad one.
Even under normal circumstances, Daniel Levy of Tottenham won't have done that deal too. But the man wanted to satisfy Mourinho to avoid complain. Now my guy don dey complain again

KingAlabi:
Ole must be like Mou oh

Complain and complain till you get what you want

Mou is already complaining at Spurs

But Mou got his transfer targets at spurs now. Why is he complaining again. I remember that Spurs had to unwillingly agree to Madrid's buy back clause on reguilon just to satisfy Mou and to prevent Man utd from getting him. Yet Mou is still complaining.

Well , I doubt it's true that it's complaining sha. I remember him saying that he has a better squad at Tottenham than at Man utd, and rightly so

Pacesetter123:
Ah teh you! Hw on earth does he through away a two goal lead to underdog like Zagreb? Losing scandalously by 3 goals to nothing to Zagreb is a sackable offence!

once upon a time, they use to tell us that Mourinho can't throw away a 1 goal lead, let alone a two goal lead. Mourinho is well and truly finished

handelex:
It's very trendy here to just abuse Ole. Any small thing na abuse straight.

Whether it makes sense or not.

Even on twitter. It's now fashionable to abuse him. If any United player can't get an erection with their girlfriend, the twitter and online people will blame Ole, no rationality and objectivity when it comes to Ole, just abuse him and inshallah

Very pathetic trend.

eph12:
How is Fred's total passes 92 and Tom's 66? Is it that Tom doesn't make himself available for a pass?

Fred is usually the deeper midfielder in charge of recycling possession. Tom is the one with the license to go higher up, and the higher you go up the pitch, the lesser your touches
